"Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason"
Definition of treason is pretty clear. Confederates were traitors. They owed their allegiance to the United States and rather than seeking a political solution to the question of slavery, they declared war against their own country.
Whether that means all of their statues should be taken down etc, is a separate question. I honestly don't care. But they were traitors.
This country was founded by traitors. Get a life.
